On the Outback Bowl

Penn State beats Tennessee (again -- that makes us 3-0 against Tennessee in three bowls since 1992, and believe me, as soon as I track down Eric Richards' email address, he'll be hearing from me).

Everything that the complainers in our stadium and on our message boards and in our local media (I'm looking at you CDT MMQB) have been going on and on and on about endlessly all season long disappeared in this game. The offense looked crisp, Morelli looked like HE IS DEVELOPING INTO A VERY GOOD QB, the defense made stops and scored, and I thought the playcalling was outstanding.

Once again, Joe shows that if you give him a month to plan, he can beat anyone.

I was asked if I would root for UM & OSU to win so that the Big Ten would wind up beating the top teams in the SEC and in the Pac 10. I will say this, I will never, EVER root for UM or OSU. However, today I will not be actively rooting for them to lose. That is the best I can do.

I've kicked around the idea of posting my thoughts about the season ending loss to UW by the vball team, but I don't think my heart is in it. One day I expect to have something to say about a season ending win by the vball team, but that will have to wait at least one more year.
